ODONTOGENIC SINUS TRACTS

Abstract

Odontogenic sinus tracts are the most common cause of a chronically draining, fixed, nodulocystic papule of the face and neck. These lesions however continue to be a diagnostic challenge. The attending clinician must look carefully for a potential odontogenic infection; chronicity, lasting for weeks, months, and even years and the recognition of the lesion as a sinus tract are keys to making the correct diagnosis. Diagnostic errors can result in multiple surgical excisions and biopsies, long-term antibiotic therapy, and even radiation therapy. In this article, three cases of odontogenic sinus tract, which were misdiagnosed and mistreated are presented and discussed.
